Turn Red Hook’s Noise Pollution Into Flickering Gates of Light

The Artist Build Collaborative has something nifty in mind for the troubled Brooklyn Queens Expressway. The dynamic, interractive installationSilent Lights will light up a pedestrian path under the B.Q.E. in Red Hook with a series of “gates.” Their glow will respond directly to the amount of the traffic noise.

Located on the median of 9th Street and Hamilton Avenue near the G train stop, these gates, equipped with microphones will calibrate the noise pollution plaguing the populated spot. With a little bit of techie alchemy, each gate’s light intensity will fluctuate individually. Now that should liven up your nightly commute.
